<0> so "global pandemic" IS redudnant
<1> i wish i could understand the fascination with overclocking a pc
<0> because a "pandemic" is a "global epidemic"
<0> thank you bar
<0> :)
<2> no, pandemic doesn't necesarrily imply global
<2> it could be an entire continent
<2> such as aids in africa
<3> i need to start buying drugs again
<2> read the ****ing definition where it says "wide geographic area"
<1> heh
<1> anyways... bedtime
<0> or, the news could be using the word "pandemic" to sound all high and mighty, or, they are avoiding the word "epidemic" because that word tends to panic the public
<0> whereas most people don't know what a "pandemic" is
<3> Pandemic is a hit to the financial system with supposedly zero effects.
<3> esentially it's a way to siphon money away from inflation.
<4> well that files is still doing the samething
<5> I'm upgrading to a larger disk. How do I make it bootable?
<4> Jet: that files is still extacting to the D drive and still say that it cant find the specified files
<0> I don't think I've even ever heard the term "pandemic" before this most recent bird flu business. Every other epidemic over a large geographical area was referred to as an "epidemic"
<0> (that I've ever heard)
<5> epi is in an area pan is everyone
<0> Oh well, I don't think this bird flu **** is anything new, it's just with it possible for someone to fly all the way around the planet in a single day, the risk of something spreading too quickly to be contained has grown dramatically
<0> 12 Monkeys anyone?
<6> good movie
<6> btw, I am watching sg-1 and that is what brought up the question ,,,not real life
<7> lol - peitiononline has a 2000+ signatures from people wanting video card upgrades for the laptops http://www.petitiononline.com/inspiron/petition.html
<0> indeed, although I had to have it explained to me why the woman from the future was on the plane at the end
<0> I mean, sure, she was a member of the ruling elite. But I got the impression it was a ****ty existance
<0> why would you go out of your way to ensure that events transpired to make life turn out ****ty for everyone
<0> even if that meant you got to be queen **** of turd hill

<9> evening
<0> jesus-****ing-christ azurejim
<6> mmm
<3> Google is to start selling video online, offering a way for people to search for and buy TV shows and more through its site.
<0> yes, they've already invented their own DRM
<3> i may just do that
<3> ***uming i'm able to download it for offline use
<3> watch it on *nix / win
<0> but that seems to get lost in the Google-is-my-god furvor
<3> I really like google!
<9> shhh, don't say god in here
<3> Google with a capital G
<3> Gareth, did you call me?
<9> :P
<7> rofl - this is a funny read

<7> wow this guy went out and got a top end ATI card, and expected to put it in his inspiron 6000
<7> well not top end but damn...
<3> haha dumb***.
<9> hehehe
<9> speaking of which, I had someone ask me if you could get PCMCIA video cards
<9> which would actually be really awesome
<9> I mean, you can do it with soundcards
<0> you'd think just looking at the laptop and the video card he'd be able to devine that it won't fit
<9> haha, yeah
<0> some people are just monumentally stupid
<9> it's really quite scary to find out how people understand (or don't) computers
<9> I mean, it's understandable if you don't use them very often
<7> (GFX Card) ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300, (Display) 1280x800/32bit/60Hz
<7> that is my card
<9> same as me
<9> resolution and everything
<9> I loves my 15.4 inch screen
<7> apperently... people aren't sure whether or not the nvidiaGo6800's from the 9300 and XPS's fit OR don't fit inside the PCI-E 6000 chasis
<7> since they all are pci-e, and the laptops apart from the 17 inch screen size, ex: 9300 is almost identical in spec to a 6000 base.
<9> how thick is the 6000 ch***is?
<7> about an inch with the screen opened
<9> oh, so about 1.3 or so with it closed
<9> quite thin
<7> its not tiny, but its not a monster either.
<7> Well if this myth is true, then 6000 owners can rejoice and then try to find a way to get their hands on proprietery 6800go's from dell
<10> yawn
<0> and how do you propose they do that?
<10> with ompa loompas
<9> heh, I love how you didn't even see what they were asking about, digidog
<0> basically this plan depends on 1) a proprietary video card from another model of laptop working in a cheaper model 2) obtaining a standalone version of this proprietary video card to install (***uming 1) is tru)
<7> yes
<7> basic economics says it won't happen
<11> a99, not really
<11> because, even if it fits
<0> nothing like basing your plan on two unknowns, both of which you have no control over
<7> Dell makes a killing on the xps and 9300's
<11> a) you won't be able to power it, and b) you won't be able to cool it
<0> ah, and Gimp-Cow has yet another roadblock
<7> gimp we don't know that :)
<7> 3 unknown's
<11> yes we do
<11> it uses twice the power
<11> literally, twice
<7> than the x300 128mb?
<11> you will either melt a vreg or 4, or it simply won't boot
<11> yes
<11> at least twice
<11> ok yes, they both are mobile parts
<11> but the desktop x300 doesn't need external power
<11> the 6800 needs a decent amount
<11> side discussion, i find it highly amusing that windows can't preview the duration and dimensions of a wmv
<11> but it can from an xvid file
<0> preview?
<11> like in explorer
<0> oh
<11> the duration column
<0> wmv is a streaming format
<11> uh
<11> no
<9> haha, interesting that
<11> not when it's a local file
<9> well, perhaps it's not in the wmv header?
<11> *shrug*
<11> it should _just_ ****ing work
<11> i'm sick of **** not working
<9> or perhaps that particular file doesn't have it embedded
<9> I know what you mean, yeah
<0> hm
<0> Duration: comes up on the statusbar
<8> http://205.138.199.81/videos/1/52059_50252.wmv oldie but a goodie.
<0> yup, Explorer is giving me duration stats for at least some of my wmvs
<12> Same here.
<12> Duration and dimensions.
<9> it was probably just the particular file he was looking at
<7> gimp-cow there is a lot of speculation of a x600,700 roll out for dell.... but that card is bang right between a 6800go and x300 where would it fall?
<0> sort of like sometimes you can set 1.2X 1.5X 2.0X etc playback speeds on some files and can't on others
<9> yeah, it's probably just to do with what encoder you use
<0> and some videos you can jump to arbitrary points in the file, and others you can't
<11> i would say a 600 could possibly work
<9> some are really well-written, thus include all the stats etc
<9> I've noticed that jet
<3> holy hell LTO2 is FAST.
<9> I think it's to do with it not being completely closed
<0> BUT, Media Player seriously seriously seriously needs a "Go to" feature
<9> LTO2?
<3> and these powervault 136Ts are even faster.
<0> that lets you specify an EXACT time in the file
<0> OR
<3> ive never seen a restore go so fast
<0> bookmarks
<3> and the tapes must WHIRR when they wind
<3> this is awesome
<0> so you can be viewing a video, stop, and return to where you left off
<3> i just restored a gig of information in ~2 min utes
<7> dell configurations piss me off...
<9> wow
<7> if they didn't force a 17inch moniter on the 9300 I woulda got it
<12> Now what annoys me is that the duration and dimensions won't show up for .mpg
<11> does for me hawk lol
<13> real soon now, I suspect most better laptops will have video modules that are interchangable and upgradable. already available on some clones like aopen
<13> "MXM"
<10> Your mailbox has exceeded one or more size limits set by your administrator.
